Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3273 is contained at Site 1-3273, constructed around its location near Hope Vale, Queensland. Its chamber is to be monitored by at least six armed guards at all times. No personnel below Level 4/3273 clearance, or without explicit permission from someone with Level 4/3273 clearance, may enter the containment area at any time. A triangular system of three (3) Scranton Reality Anchors has been set up around the containment area and should be checked annually for malfunctions.
Two 9-3273-Long Electromagnetic Hume Funnels (9-LEHFs) are kept in standby mode around the anomaly, to be activated on command from Level 5 personnel (see Document 3273-Epsilon)1. Diagnostics are to be run every three (3) months by a trained 9-LEHF technician, under supervision from one or more Level 4/3273 personnel. See Document 3273-LEHF for a description of the 9-LEHF system.Further procedures are pending approval from the required unanimous O5 vote.

Description: SCP-3273 is a roughly circular spatial anomaly approximately two three meters in diameter, which acts as a window into a pocket dimension containing a small glowing orb. Nothing else is visible within, and observation is limited due to the fact that no matter can enter or exit the anomaly; to date, only photons and [DATA CORRUPTED] can pass through the barrier between our reality and SCP-3273.
SCP-3273 was discovered in 1999, and went without much notice until 2012, when a communication was received from the anomaly, and the orb (now designated SCP-3273-1) was discovered to be a sapient entity. Log 3273-A contains a transcript of the first communications with it.
SCP-3273-1 refers to itself as "Blue" and seems to understand English, but have minor difficulty speaking it. It has also demonstrated knowledge of several aboriginal Australian Longuages. SCP-3273 has demonstrated minor reality bending abilities, and claims that the anomaly is preventing it from reaching its true potential.2Further description is currently the subject of debate. Please see Iterations I and II below.

Special Containment Procedures: It would be in the Foundation's interests to end containment as soon as possible. Opening SCP-3273 and freeing Blue would be significantly [DATA LOST] helped develop the 9-LEHF system for this very purpose.

Description: Inside of SCP-3273 is one of the Foundation’s greatest assets. What what we once thought was simply a glowing orb is actually a benevolent entity. If I was formal about it, I’d call him SCP-3273-1, but he’s asked to be called Blue.
Blue has explained himself to us. He’s a class-V reality warper, and many years ago, he revealed himself to th[DATA CORRUPTED]s, attempting to show them that he wanted to use his powers for good and to help humanity. But they didn’t trust him- they were afraid of his abilities- so they trapped him. He’d been imprisoned in his pocket dimension for decades before he managed to make contact with the Foundation.
We've checked on this story, and I have found sufficient evidence to believe him. He's already done things for us (See Document 3273-Alpha) that have demonstrated his good intentions. I acknowledge there is risk, but I think Blue is trustworthy, and I will be propos[DATA LOST]
Don't li[DATA CORRUPTED]d.

Item #: SCP-3273

Object Class: Apollyon

Special Containment Procedures: If O5-9 and Researcher [DATA CORRUPTED] have their way, containment failure will occur in less than a decade. Our efforts should be focused on keeping SCP-3273-1 inside the anomaly, and memetic hazard analysis [DATA CORRUPTED] possible administration of amnestics to Site 1-3273 personnel.

Description: SCP-3273 is a relatively normal spatial anomaly, but inside the anomaly is SCP-3273-1, the entity that calls itself “Blue.” SCP-3273-1 is to be considered dangerous and [DATA CORRUPTED].
SCP-3273-1’s seeming kindness is a facade. We’ve read ancient [DATA CORRUPTED] texts suggesting that they trapped it inside SCP-3273 after a great battle where it tried to destroy them. Further information we’ve found on SCP-3273-1’s past is listed in Document 3273-Gamma.3
SCP-3273-1 first made contact with us on 12/23/2012, and it’s been trying to get us to free it ever since. I personally believe it has a memetic effect on people that makes them want to help it.
SCP-3273 is slowly regaining power now, and I fear that too soon we will free it. God only knows what would happen then.
A Class-V reality warper could destroy everything the Foundation has worked so hard for by raising a finger. The Council should understand my concern and the terms of my proposal. Containing SCP-3273-1 needs to be our top priority moving forward.
If it becomes necessary, I am prepared to t[DATA LOST]on of Site 1-3273.

Note: As of 1/05/2018, O5-9 has ordered a psychological evaluation of O5-4.

NOTICE FROM THE FOUNDATION RECORDS AND INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

THE PROJECT LEADER FOR THIS FILE'S DATA RECOVERY, DR. PATRICK SAHD, HAS APPARENTLY DEFECTED TO THE GLOBAL OCCULT COALITION. THIS HAS TEMPORARILY HALTED OPERATIONS WHILE AN INVESTIGATION IS INITIATED AND NEW PROJECT LEADER APPOINTED. SCP-3273'S FILE IS EXPECTED TO BE RECONSTRUCTED BY 2018 2019.

Log 3273-A

Interviewed: SCP-3273-1

Interviewer: Dr. Katseanes

Foreword: This interview was conducted on 12/23/2012, after SCP-3273-1 first began communication attempts with Foundation personnel. Dr. Katseanes, who was nearby in Cairns at the time, was flown in to conduct the interview.

Closing Statement: The anomaly experienced fluctuations at this point, disrupting communications with SCP-3273-1. They were reestablished five weeks later, and contact has been consistent since then.5

Document 3273-LEHF

The 9-Long Electromagnetic Hume Funnel (9-LEHF) system was developed between 2013 and 2015 through cooperation between O5-9 and Dr. Long. The system was desgined based on the hypothesis that SCP-3273 contains a very high Hume level, possibly over [DATA CORRUPTED], restricting SCP-3273-1's reality bending abilities.
The 9-LEHF system uses concentrated electromagnetic pulses alongside a Long disruptor, constructed using parts from a Scranton Reality Anchor6 and [DATA LOST]. This system allows the "siphoning" of Hume levels from SCP-3273, slowly weakening the barrier between our reality and the pocket dimension and increasing the reality bending abilities of Blue SCP-3273-1.
At maximum power (which can only be maintained for up to three hours), the 9-LEHF system reduces barrier integrity at a rate of 47.53(x) - x2[DATA CORRUPTED] per minute. In addition, the barrier degradation is exponential; as the Hume level decreases, Blue's power increases in inverse proportion, and he it can begin to push its way out of SCP-3273 on his own.
It is theorized that when SCP-3273-1 reaches the equivalent power of a class-III reality warper, he it will be able to free itself completely and the 9-LEHF system will be rendered obsolete.7
[DATA LOST]

Note from Dr. Long: I'm considering retra[DATA CORRUPTED]roval of this system after reviewing the relevant evidence. I think O5-9 may have b[DATA CORRUPTED]orting my findings to the rest of the Council on the 10th.

//On 05/06/2017, Dr. Long was accidentally amnesticized during a recontainment operation, and afterward found files missing in her office. Shortly afterward, she expressed that she felt like she had been compromised in her ability to perform her duties, and submitted for psychological testing. Researcher Calvar was appointed to take her place at Site 1-3273.

Note:Who the hell authorized any of this? Overseers are supposed to keep away from anomalies, especially ones with such a [DATA LOST]at level. 9, 4, I'm restricting both of you to your chambers at Site 47 until further notice. -O5-1

As of 01/30/2018, Researcher Calvar is now the director of any and all projects relating to SCP-3273.

First test of 9-LEHF system. After six hours, barrier integrity was determined to have dropped 0.2%. Blue SCP-3273-1 appeared to recognize this, and praised the success of the system, while also [DATA CORRUPTED]

We're moving forward with the LEHF system as soon as [DATA CORRUPTED]ion.

03/05/2016

Barrier integrity at 93.1%. SCP-3273 is able to affect reality for the first recorded time- Researcher Long was eating pistachios in the containment chamber, when they began to apparently crack open on their own. Researcher Long quickly realized this was SCP-3273-1 and reported it to [DATA LOST]

"I've never seen such perfectly cracked pistachios. They were split evenly, down to the molecular level!" -Researcher Long

12/14/2016

Barrier integrity reaches 79.6%. SCP-3273-1 expressed [DATA LOST] One hour later, the anomaly fluctuated, releasing a wave of energy across the site. All personnel reported feeling invigorated, happier, and more confident in their ability to release SCP-3272-1.

Medical tests concluded that all site personnel were experiencing increased concentration, elevated dopamine levels, improved vision and circulation, and higher stamina. Researcher Calvar was particularly affected, and unveiled an improved 9-LEHF system two months later, which was tested and implemented the following June.

6/06/2017

Updated 9-LEHF system (v.1.2.0) is implemented, and deemed 33.9% more effective than v.1.1.0. After testing, barrier integrity is determined to be 65.2%.

Bl [DATA CORRUPTED] our progress.

10/30/2017

Secure communication system with SCP-3273 is tested successfully. Communications have been 100% consistent since the system was implemented.

The system apparently also increased SCP-3273-1's influence on reality, as one hour later the room was filled with 23 boxes of chocolates which Researcher Calvar descried as being her favorite.8 SCP-3273-1 then said "I hope you like them!" before returning to silence.

01/03/2018

Updated 9-LEHF system (v.1.3.0) is implemented, and deemed 47% more effective than v.1.2.0. SCP-3272-1 offers to repay the cost of developing the new system as thanks. Two hours later, a total of $97 million USD9 appeared distributed throughout various Foundation bank accounts.

Note from O5-4: I can't access any of this from my Foundation account! It's SCP-3273-1, he knows I'm onto him. I [DATA LOST] Addendum: Calm down, 4. We investigated and it was a non-anomalous issue with your card. I'm recommending you for psychological testing; specifically paranoia. -O5-9

1. This document has apparently disappeared from the Foundation database.
O5-4 has denied any knowledge of its whereabouts. As of 12/29/2017, O5-9 has ordered the continued use of the system without the procedures contained in the original document.

2. It is theorized that the interior of the anomaly has a very high Hume field, restricting SCP-3273-1's abilities.

3. This document has been deleted following a review that revealed several factual errors.

5. Revision 03/13/2016: Communications were temporarily disrupted yesterday, apparently due to a power surge. Investigation is ongoing.

8. The chocolates were taken for analysis before consumption. 16 of the 23 boxes were found to have their chocolates filled with Foundation-manufactured amnestics and soporifics. O5-9 has determined this was simply an error caused by the limitations of Blue's abilities.
